That’s not true. I lost a bet even though I won the bet, and paid up with lunch.
The bet was that on hearing the female scotus judge was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer she wouldn’t go past 6 months. Unfortunately, the demonrats pretended she was still alive in a real live version of Weekend At Bernie’s . I couldn’t prove they were carting the dead carcass around. I paid up.
It can be done with facts and repetition. Applies both ways, ofc … some are afflicted with TDS and others with BDS but luckily there are elections and free media.

The Shrinking Dentally-challenged PM appears on the lowest rating show on TV to reach the vanishing audience:
When we think of the poets of the Great War, Rupert Brooke and Siegfried Sassoon come to mind, with their “corners of foreign fields” and “the green of the spring”. But there is another…Wilfred Owen, the Shropshire lad and his “Dulce et Decorum Est”. His memorial sits behind the old abbey in Shrewsbury. His tragedy – he perished a week before the Armistice.
The old Benedictine abbey crouches on the “English” side of the Severn. It’s a conglomeration of Norman, Gothic and some Victorian restoration. But for me, it’s special for a different reason. It was the fictional home of Ellis Peters’ Brother Cadfael, the medieval sleuth and very worldly monk. Nothing remains of his garden or, indeed, the monk’s cells and priory.
Yesterday, the Beloved and I wound our way up to the castle and Laura’s little tower, and a view that took in a bend of the river which girdles the town on three sides. You can see at a glance why this place was so strategic as a border stronghold. Later we took the winding walk back down, past (and into) St Mary’s with its magnificent “Jesse” window, the higgledy piggledy half timbered houses, pubs and little dark passages linking the concentric main streets.
This place has seen wars pass over it for millennia – marauding Danes, Welsh princes and the Normans, the King and Parliament. Musket ball holes pepper the doors to the castle. An arbalest sits innocently inside the entry, guarded either side by much more contemporary 20th century guns.
And then there’s the Severn itself. A lazy, smooth curl of river with a dark, flooding, devastating history. Anglers hopefully dropping a line below shady willows seeking perch (taking pike is forbidden), pupils from the nearby school rowing in eights and fours.
Tonight – a pair of antipodean visitors…sitting at a riverside pub enjoying the spectacle and the skyline of spires.
Oh, and in the morning on Midsummer Day, the Beloved will enquire about who won the cricket.

Another brief travelogue and you can get on with other more important stuff…
Drove up to Port Sunlight today – it’s a model village beside the Mersey and its history can be googled by those interested. It’s a delight of Arts and Crafts style buildings – homes, row houses, public buildings and open spaces. And the Lady Lever Gallery.
Within is an amazing collection of sculpture, furniture, textiles, pottery and paintings collected by the Lever family (think Sunlight soap). Paintings by Turner, Constable, Rossetti, Millais, Waterhouse…the list goes on.
And there, on a wall, was this. Powerful, imbued with deep and mystical meaning – the agony of a doomed animal. I had only ever see the painting itself, but never the frame. It links the Old with the New and sits as a halo around the image.
I’m glad that it lives in a small collection that has to be consciously sought out by the curious. I think the artist would agree.

A few days ago UK actor and commentator, Laurence Fox, on Father’s Day, bravely burned the “Pride” flag, and for his bravery he now faces a “police probe”. Yes, you read that right, forget about soaring knife crime in London, forget about soaring burglaries in London, forget about soaring sex crimes in London, the politicised Metropolitan London plod’s priority is to investigate Laurence Fox.

Kol hakavod Laurence.
It begs the question, would Fox be facing a police probe if he’d burned the Union Jack? Or a crucifix? I doubt it, in fact such acts would be celebrated. Oh and further to desecrating crucifixes, remember that only three months ago, outside a church here in Sydney, a group of perverts desecrated a crucifix, and nothing happened.
Oh and further to the Belfield riot and the aftermath, Mark Latham is 200% right.
Pride cometh before the fall. It’s interesting that in the USA and Canada, it’s minorities who are fighting back.

I’m not going to doubt Mayo’ indigenous heritage, he can have Filipino, Dayak and the Torres Strait on his dad’s side.
On the way back to paradise, I called into Sydney to attend the latest reunion of our little group that has been getting together for more than forty years.
Sadly, I believe it will be the last. Our group has become a metaphor for our society. The cultural divide between the inner city people and the rural/interstate visitors is now an ocean. Politesse ruled, but only just.
The city folk pronounced the scam and the voice beneficial in every way, which set the tone for the evening. Almost every topic became instantly political. One visitor commented positively on the upgrade of the Drummoyne swimming pool. “Yes yes” intoned the hostess. “That had to be done because sea level rise in the Harbour threatened to drown the pool”!
Glowing commentary regarding brave Anthony dragging himself out of Marrackville poverty led to longish pauses.
And so it went on. The conversation amongst the ‘out of towners’ in the taxi queue was simply depressing.
One matter that achieved absolute agreement in the queue was the imperative to destroy ABC and SBS.

Possibly not just the NT. A friend of mine with some aboriginal ancestry who works in the medical field said there are clinics in Brisbane just for aboriginals where they can walk in for free treatment and see any type of specialist, no appointment necessary.
Doesn’t help the poor buggers in Wadeye or Cherbourg but if you are in Brisvegas, happy days.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders get priority in all public hospitals as far as I know.
Not to mention specialist Aboriginal Health Services.

Look, he said ‘potential greatness’. Like the eggs, milk, cheese, and ham in my refrigerator is a potential omelet.
Besides, Trumble had strengths, but he was merely mismatched with the time he lived in.
If instead we lived in a time that called for a pompous back-stabbing gullible dishonest myopic patronising vain entitled elitist who lives in his own world where he is brilliant even while being played over and again by his rivals – if we were in such a time as that then Trumble would have been a messiah!

It’s learned behaviour. If they are hungry (they get free sandwiches), if they are tired, if they are pissed, if it’s raining – they wander up to the triage counter and point to their kidney.

Comment , from the Oz.
Cromwell was the al-Baghdadi of his day.
A cruel religious extremist with ambitions for a Cromwell family ruling dynasty.
He destroyed the visionary democratic ideas that sprang up in the new parliament and delayed widespread suffrage for over a hundred years and ensured the return of the detestable leeches that occupied the royal line at that time.
He’s the very definition of “it’s gone to his head”.
Your children will flourish when you feed them three decent meals a day and send them to school – it’s an old fashioned point of view, I know.
Wow, this chap definitely deserved the sentence he got…
Judge Black sentenced him to 23 years and six months in jail.
He will have to serve 21 years and six months before he can be released.
Horrible story, but it appears justice was done right in this case.
Al Capone went to prison for 11 years for tax evasion.
Wesley Snipes (actor) did 3 years.
Heidi Fleiss (Hollywood Madam) did 20 months.
Chuck Berry (Rock and Roller) did 4 months.
Pete Rose (Baseball Player) did 5 months.
So it wasn’t the standard before the Biden’s came along.
I don’t think Hunter has the discipline to do probation without violating the terms though, which means he goes back to court looking at a jail term.
I recall having a big spat with the Doomlord when I had a go at him over his prediction of stagflation under Labor. It remained a sore point with him for many years afterwards.

She will be just another example of the a kid who grew up being told that they were special, but was too besotted with herself to notice that her teachers said that to all the students and other kids’ parents said it to their spawn also.
This girl will think that an idea is brilliant as soon as it enters her head and any attempt to hold it up to reason is like stealing something from the world and as having an immoral intent.
I truly believe it goes back to schooling and letting kids have to confront the idea that they make mistakes.
I was talking to a woman the other day who said she remembers at school having written, say, a 150 word essay and having it returned with the misspelt words marked in red. Her attitude was that it would have been more positive to have ‘greened’ all the words that were right. It would have felt better.
For my part red marks indicating my errors made me want to get them right next time. It didn’t dispirit me and I did not need a counsellor.

Independent senator Jacqui Lambie says she will use every mechanism possible to look up the chain of command in the defence force, after she filed an official request with the ICC seeking an investigation into the culpability of ADF officers for war crimes exposed in the Brereton report.
“I am going to use every mechanism I possibly can to go up the senior command because right now we are giving them a blanket exemption,” she told ABC RN Breakfast.
“If both governments … aren’t prepared to go in and look at senior command, then one way or another, I’m going to force them to because you are not going to chuck all these diggers under the bus and not look at why, from the very top of senior command, this occurred, and give them a blanket exemption.
“You can’t tell me … that the top did not know there was something going on … I have served in that uniform and everybody at the top knows what’s going on.”
She said she had no doubt the ICC would inquire with Australia as to whether they are looking at senior command.

Arriving at the bus queue she asked two young men for help. In a classic example of Zoomer bravery and concern they pulled out their phones and called the police.
Plod arrived quickly and flicked off the aboriginal girl. They then escorted our friend into one of the QVB entrances and advised her (our friend claims they threatened her) not to attempt to pursue the matter. She arrived at her sister’s home in tears.
The poor woman is devestated. Many of her cherished beliefs about our society are now ashes.

It always smelled to high heaven that the top brass went after their own troops to please the diversity and high heels crowd. The honourable thing would have been to assume some responsibility, have some soul searching and hand back their own medals when demanding the troops return theirs. I have no problem with Lambie threatening them with ICC, it seems to be the only option left to get their attention.

On February 14, the NSW Forensic and Analytical Science Service said it found two pieces of paper in the pocket of Dye’s denim shirt. One was a post-it note with a handwritten name and number on it, while the other had a bloodstain.
“Evidently, these pieces of paper had never previously been noticed,” Gray said.
“They were found folded in the front top left pocket of the exhibit, the shirt, and never separately catalogued. Obviously, the failure by the police up to now to find these pieces of paper is very unfortunate, to say the least.”

Not looking good. “The Australian” reports:
Maritime experts say there is now only the slimmest chance of rescuing five people on board the still missing Titanic submersible.
“More people been to outer space than this depth of the ocean,” Titanic expedition leader, G. Michael Harris told Fox News.
“The worst situation is something happened to the hull and our fear is it imploded at (a depth of) 3200m .’’
Retired US submarine commander, David Marquet, says the sub “might as well be on the back side of the moon” because even if it is found, it has to be raised – an extraordinarily difficult operation – and brought back on board the mother ship.
“It needs us to rescue them,” he said.
Mr Harris also cautioned that even if the sub is found intact near the Titanic wreck it would be next to impossible to rescue the vehicle and bring it to the surface in time.
Mr Harris added “you have to cross every “T” and dot every “I” and do everything perfect and by the book. Throwing a bunch of tourists into a new sub created over the last couple of years, it’s not looking good.’’
In a press conference held this morning Australian time, Captain Jamie Frederick, of the First Coast Guard District, said Titan had about 40 hours of oxygen remaining for five people on board.
He added that the search is “complex” and requires multiple agencies working together.
The only optimistic scenario is that the sub, called Titan, has floated to the surface after ditching ballast and is bobbing around waiting to be found by the increasing numbers of C-130 Canadian and US coast guard aircraft sweeping the area.
The deep sea cable boat Deep Energy has been moving slowly over the wreck of the Titanic since Tuesday afternoon Australian time using its sonar detection abilities. It was the first vessel to respond to the emergency message issued by the STD-C – a marine satellite service – to alert nearby vessels to keep a look out on Sunday. It changed its bearings to head to the Titanic wreck site and was in position by late Monday.
God rest ye merry, gentlemen.
Any relation to Rex’s statement that their just announced $35m loss was related to a lack of pilots preventing 1/3 of its regional fleet from flying?

Meanwhile in the Territory, Hogs Breath restaurant will bypass Darwin because of street crime:
Australian steakhouse franchise Hog’s Breath Cafe has narrowed down its search for its next Territory restaurant to two Top End sites while snubbing Darwin city due to crime concerns.
The company has scoped out two potential locations at Gateway in Palmerston and another undisclosed spot in the Top End.
But despite the success of the [Darwin] Mitchell Street Hog’s Breath, which closed when the lease expired more than a decade ago, Darwin city is not among the selected sites due to concerns about employee and customer safety.
Hogs Breath is looking to re-establish a store in the Northern Territory three years after its Casuarina and Palmerston outlets shut their doors for the last time.
With a couple of potential sites identified, the company is now looking for operators who want to run the restaurant.
Hog’s Breath chief executive Steve Spurgin said the chain had a site agent to seek out suitable locations for future restaurants and two suitable spots had been selected.
But he said the Darwin central business district was identified as potentially being too risky for customers and staff.
“Crime and the environment customers have to come through to attend the restaurant is a factor when selecting sites,” he said.
“We’ve looked at the social environment and asked would the people of Darwin feel safe coming to this restaurant?
“We need families coming to our restaurant and it’s a large part of how we select the site.”
Mr Spurgin said Darwin was similar to other regional centres when it comes to crime.
He said Hog’s Breath restaurants in Townsville, Mackay and Toowoomba were all experiencing social issues that impact customers and businesses.
Small Business Minister Paul Kirby said the government was working towards a safer CBD.
Darwin, BTW, is where the Parliament House and other centres of government are….

You wonder about some of these judges. The perp has spent “some months” in jail, and might be sentenced to a further term:
Teen could end up in jail after breaking into blind woman’s home and threatening to stab her
A Hobart teenager is walking a fine line between jail and freedom after he broke into the Sandy Bay home of a blind woman as she slept, robbing her and threatening to stab her.
A teenager who broke into the Sandy Bay home of a legally blind woman as she slept, stealing her jewellery as he threatened to stab her with a large knife, could end up in jail – depending on his behaviour for the rest of the year.
Gregory Maxwell Picken, 18, has pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated burglary and one count of armed robbery, dating back to January 11 this year.
In his published comments on passing sentence, Supreme Court judge Stephen Estcourt said Picken had been gambling at the Wrest Point Casino for some hours when he broke into the woman’s home about 3.50am. He took the woman’s handbag and wallet from her lounge room before stealing jewellery from her bedroom.
The woman woke to Picken brandishing a large knife and yelling words to the effect of, “where is your phone, c…?”
She asked why he was in her home, and in return, he threatened to stab her twice.
The woman then got out of bed, with Picken continuing to threaten her as he left via the back door – taking her iPhone, wallet, cash, keys, glasses, Apple AirPods, handbag, and jewellery including two sets of diamond earrings that had belonged to her grandmother.
She contacted police and Picken was arrested, with some of the property recovered.
“These were horrible crimes and very serious ones at that,” Justice Estcourt said. “Since then (the woman) has not slept through the night, she wakes up a couple of times a night in a state of panic and (has) repeated dreams about the defendant standing at the end of her bed with a knife.”
Justice Estcourt said the woman was now moving house as a result.
He noted Picken had been brought up in a strong and close family unit, but that his father had died as a result of a one-punch attack that he’d witnessed at age 11, and that his mother struggled thereafter and died of a drug overdose.
Now a father himself, Justice Estcourt said Picken had spent some months at Risdon Prison and had been constantly scared for his safety. The judge took the step of deferring sentence until December and granting bail, with Picken to return to court every month to check on his progress.

She’s a token pick. She was also Deputy Premier in the Keneally Government.
She’s not very intelligent, that was displayed when she was on an ABC Election Night coverage with Trent Zimmerman.
Her response yesterday were those of a person on strong AntiDepressants.
It’s a similar play to when Tony Abbott put Bronnie B up for Speaker.
Abbott thought Labor would struggle since she was
#1. Old
#2. Female
#3. Out of her depth
But it didn’t stop Tony Burke from steamrollering her in QT.
Because of Burney’s obvious vulnerabilities, they’ve got Sussan Ley asking the questions, probably to avoid a Burney meltdown, but in my opinion she needs to go in a lot harder.
The Court’s accounting is somewhat fuller than the Court j’ismist’s.
PM seeks advice on double dissolution over housing bill
Phillip Coorey – Political editor
The Albanese government is seeking constitutional advice over whether the Greens’ ongoing refusal to pass the $10 billion social housing fund is grounds for a double dissolution election.
After the Greens and the Coalition teamed up in the Senate on Monday to defer debating and voting on the bill until October 16, Anthony Albanese told caucus the action may constitute the first half of a trigger for an early full-Senate election.
“The Greens are bringing a juvenile, student politics approach which needs to be exposed,” the prime minister said of the Greens refusal to back the Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) despite numerous concessions.
“Continually deferring a bill can be taken as a block, and we are seeking advice on that,” Mr Albanese told MPs.
The Greens are demanding the government enact a national rent freeze before considering the bill, but Mr Albanese said that was not only untenable but would result in less supply and make the problem worse.
A double dissolution trigger is gained when the Senate fails to pass a bill twice with a minimum of three months in between.
Mr Albanese said the government was seeking advice from the Commonwealth solicitor-general regarding whether it could keep the bill in the Senate and have the Greens fail to pass it a second time, or whether the bill would have to be withdrawn, put back through the House of Representatives and back into the Senate for the Greens to reject again.
Greens leader Adam Bandt dismissed the threat but would not say whether he would welcome fighting an election over his housing demands.
“If the government and Labor act on rising rents and out-of-control rent increases, then this bill can pass the Senate when it comes back,” he said.
The Greens are isolated on the issue, with other Senate crossbenchers – including the Jacqui Lambie Network and David Pocock – urging them to pass the bill, as are the housing industry and housing groups which represent the needy.
“I don’t see who wins by kicking this to October,” Senator Pocock said.
“My view is that we now bank these wins, we get on with building new social and affordable housing our community so desperately needs across the country.”
A double dissolution is a full Senate election that must be held more than six months before the expiry date of the House of Representatives.
At the very latest, that would be March 29, 2025, but the government could go much earlier if it wished. The earliest it could hold a half-Senate election would be August 3, 2024.
The stand-off over the HAFF has become a proxy for a broader battle between the Greens and Labor for inner-city seats populated by young renters.
The Greens have branded themselves the party of renters and the government argues the minor party is selling these voters false hope in the form of an undeliverable rent freeze as an exercise in product differentiation.
Nationals senator Matt Canavan dared Mr Albanese to bring on a double dissolution.
“Bring on a double dissolution if that is what the government wants,” he said. “I am more than happy to fight on this issue and many other issues.
“They’re making a big deal of the fact that … they say on their own numbers they want to build 6000 homes a year while they’re letting in 250,000-350,000 people a year. Maybe we should slow down the intake of migrants.”

Energy transition is flickering as renewables struggle to catch up
Never has the message to keep all options open seemed more sensible. Yet, the rapid developments in affordable nuclear power overseas cannot even get a look-in.
The man who manages the east coast electricity supply could not be any plainer. Coal-fired power is leaving the system faster than renewables are being built to replace it, says the Australian Energy Market Operator’s chief executive, Daniel Westerman.
Urgent investment is needed. The energy transition is faltering.
The choice between meeting the 2030 target of 82 per cent renewables and keeping the lights on might be only a few years away.
The penetration of solar and wind – and the overall need to decarbonise the economy – is undermining the economics of coal-generated power.
Three big coal-fired plants are scheduled to close this decade.
But the Snowy 2.0 hydro scheme is way behind schedule, as is the massive investment in transmission lines needed to connect the national grid to far-flung solar and wind generation.
Thousands more wind turbines and hundreds of thousands of solar panels are needed, plus massive investments in transmission and gas-peaking power.
Yet, the approvals for new projects have stopped, mired in quicksand. Landowners are demanding $400,000 a kilometre for the grid to cross their properties.
Producers of gas, the critical transition fuel, are demonised. Victoria has excluded gas from the “safeguard” mechanism that is supposed to provide reliable backup, particularly on windless nights.
Brett Redman, CEO of NSW grid operator Transgrid, says the nominated 2025 shutdown of the state’s giant Eraring coal-fired generator should be delayed to provide insurance against blackouts.
BP, one of Australia’s biggest energy investors, said this week that renewables were approaching their own “sliding doors moment” where they could not meet future targets.
Never has the message to keep all options open seemed more sensible. Yet, the rapid developments in affordable nuclear power overseas cannot even get a look-in.
Much like Linda Burney, they aren’t helping. Interest rates are a very blunt instrument and even more so after 30 years without a recession. I don’t think we have seen anything yet.
Ukraine exhuming old graves to bury today’s dead soldiers – NYT
Russia insists the West is conducting a proxy war “to the last Ukrainian”
Ukrainian cemeteries are filling up with the bodies of soldiers killed on the frontline, so much that authorities sometimes have to exhume old graves to make room for the newly deceased, The New York Times has reported. Russia has warned that by arming Kiev, Western nations were increasing the cost of the war for Ukrainians.
The Monday article in the Times reported on the “seemingly countless funerals” taking place in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv. The magnitude of frontline losses is being felt by the community, as fresh graves multiply in the cemeteries, the newspaper said.
A groundskeeper at one told the US outlet that since the beginning of hostilities in February last year, the military burials in her care grew in number from a small cluster to some 500. The management decided to exhume unmarked graves from World War I to make room for the newly deceased, she added.
In another example this week, the mayor of Ivano-Frankivsk, another western Ukrainian regional capital, announced that visitors to the city cemetery will be able to rent bicycles and electric scooters. Ruslan Martsinkiv said the service was his administration’s response to complaints by relatives who found it difficult to move around the rapidly growing premises.
Both Ukraine and Russia refuse to publish their own frontline casualties and each claim that their opponent has sustained more than they report. Kiev is currently engaged in a counteroffensive against Russian defensive positions, trying to make use of the tanks and other military equipment supplied to it by Western nations. The push has so far reportedly come at a great cost with no significant territorial gains achieved.
Moscow has accused the US and its allies of causing the armed conflict in the first place, by moving NATO infrastructure into Ukraine and threatening Russian national security.
Western nations that arm Kiev allegedly stopped it from striking a peace deal in the first months of the conflict, and are waging a proxy war on Russia “to the last Ukrainian,” officials in Moscow have claimed.
The Russian government said it was determined to safeguard its nation despite the cost.

Commercial kangaroo shooters are required to adhere to standards of humane killing, set out by a national code of practice that was revised in 2020.
The code requires them to be correctly licensed and they are required to kill each kangaroo with a single shot to the head. They need to ensure the animal is dead before targeting another one.
But hunting takes place after dusk, which makes it hard for even the most experienced shooter to get a clean, single shot to the head.
I have an idea.

“We cohabited peacefully with our neighbours and the people in the community … a lot of interaction with nature,” she says.
But that changed in 2017, she says, when commercial kangaroo shooters moved into the area.
“[They] started shooting kangaroos very close to our property … like 60 metres away from our front door,” Ms Gibb says.
At times she’s been woken at 3am by gunshots, to find lights shining through her property.

The recent inflation is now over in America. It was a temporary phenomenon, as people who weren’t partisan shills kept telling you.
The RBA this week quietly admitted in its latest papers that the Australia Institute was right all along: corporate price gouging is causing prolonged inflation in Australia. Not that they will stop punishing regular people with their rate hikes, of course. Beatings will continue until morale improves.
Time’s up. We are officially doomed, doomed I tell you.

Absent those 2 fiddles, most years since the 70s have been recessionary, we just dont notice because artificially low interest rates have enabled debt financed spending to obscure it – this must end at some point.

Dreyfus deliberately running dead on legal case underpinning land tenure in Australia??
Yunupingu was seeking up to $700 million in compensation from the Commonwealth on behalf of his people, the Gumatj clan, over the acquisition of land on the Gove Peninsula in north-east Arnhem Land in 1969.
….
The Federal Court battle was the first time the court had been asked to determine whether the Commonwealth’s actions in acquiring land without recognising native title were invalid.
It was hailed as a case that could “break new legal ground” when it was first brought forward in 2019.
The Commonwealth argued it had the right to take property from Territorians without having to pay fair compensation, and that it did not have to provide just terms for an acquisition of land in the Northern Territory.
Lawyers also said that if the court rejected the Commonwealth’s argument, it could “potentially invalidate every grant of freehold or leasehold title in the Northern Territory since 1911”, exposing the Commonwealth to a slew of new native title compensation claims.
….
Federal Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said it was appropriate the case’s issues be settled by the High Court so “parties to this and future matters have clarity and certainty about the law in this area”.
“I recognise the significant contribution that Yunupingu has made to First Nations land rights in Australia. Initiating this landmark case was one of many actions he took to build a better future for his people,” he said.
“This case raises important legal issues including very significant constitutional issues that go beyond the native title context.
“The application of these constitutional issues in the context of native title compensation is new and the Federal Court decision represents the first time these issues have been judicially determined in that context.”
Pretty standard lefty tactic.
“lose” a case, pay huge sums of money to encourage the next legal milestone to ‘lose’…
Rinse/repeat.
Words that have little content:
Generally even ardent wrongology like those Brights publish includes useful filler phrases that true believers can ‘admit were right all along’.
‘The recent inflation is now over’ means that the inflation rate has dropped; so will the government give back the money it stole from the people by issuing money that had no value created behind it?
I lived through several episodes of ‘The recent inflation is now over’ under Zimbabwean economic management, and episodic inflation means it can by directly tied to government actions each time it jumps. Your assertion fills me with confidence that we are ruled by f**kwits, voting for inflated balloons of their own self-importance.
He claims to have learned from the aerospace industry.
As noted, he didn’t learn much from the Apollo 1 fire.
The airliner industry developed the ‘plug door’ to solve the differential pressure problem. That is, it uses the higher pressure inside the aircraft at altitude to keep the door firmly in it’s hole.
Of course, the pressure differential is reversed in a deep sea submersible, but this actually makes the plug mechanism construction for the hatch easier.
Having said all that, the pressure differential in a submersible at 3,000 – 4,000 metres is vastly different to that in an aircraft at 40,000 feet. I also take the point about the game controller. Honestly, the controls on this thing would be pretty rudimentary and no need for a wireless controller, apart from making it look cool.
